A8 Speech - Jul. 17,2007

A8 Speech - by David Tsui at Jul. 17,2007

Opening,
Today I would like to say something about our president Camila Wu. Do you thinks she is a good president? Do you think she is capable to lead our club to the goal of DCP target?
Ladies and Gentlemen. One month ago when we host the discharge and installation ceremony, I forget to ask you a question “ Any Protest”. That means if you want to protest the president, we had to vote for the result. It was my mistake. But our new president was really good for this position. At least on three things.

Body,
First, she is a vegetarian. I don’t know she like meat or not. Definitely, she does not like bone.
Secondly, she is an excellent teacher who was master in mass but now teach English as her daily work. Please don not count on her to teach you how to use the fancy cell phone.

Finally, she chooses the easy way to be a president rather than to compete with 陳水扁or 馬英九. And she is our club first female president. Do you really think it is easy to do so? Of cause not, she must always think about Toastmaster. She must keep her cell phone stand by 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Above all she must love Toastmaster more than her husband. I have to say so when Paul is not here. Otherwise he will kill me.

Conclusion,
All in all I would like to say, our president Camila, she was ready to take this challenge of being our president. Not only physically she is a vegetarian but also mentally she love toastmaster more than her husband. So let me ask you are you with her? Will you support her?

(Toastmaster)

C3 - Illusion - Jul.17,2007

C3 - Illustration illusion

Jillian Fang at Jul. 17,2007 (Best speaker of the meeting)

What’s Illusion? What does it mean? Does anyone have any experience that you believe what you saw, but the result has another meaning? We can say “Illusion” may occur to you.
Illusion’s meaning is a distortion of a sensory perception.
Perception means understanding, comprehension.
It belongs to psychology, philosophy, and also medical science. It sounds a complex problem. I just concentrate my subject on visual illusions, illusion of illustrations.
I try to use some illustrations that will be well known and understood for you.
Do you remember I have shown you the illustrations last meeting?
Illustration is a form of visual art. Some illustrations we can realize, but some ones we don’t. For example, these are illustrations. The picture one is watercolor work. …we can understand it. Red chilly, plants.

The second one is a girl with some antique statuary. It was made by color pencils, watercolor. The third one……… can you understand the picture what it communicate?



Have you ever thought about these amazing illustrations?
And do these illustrations make you feel like illusion?
Now, we are going to test and verify amazing illustrations illusion.
Let me show you two pictures. The first one…..
What do you see?

How many things can you realize? The first picture ………
Can you describe the detail from the picture? An old man…An old baldness man with his hand on his chest….. archway or arched door, wall ….. Yes, all of you are right, but look at the picture carefully. You will find an old man in white color clothes. On his left side is a woman in a beautiful dress, and a dog is lying on the road.

The second picture………can you describe the detail from the picture again?
What do you see? A woman? What kind of the woman can you understand?
Both of them are women, but they are seen the different age by your eyes or thinking from everyone. She is not only a young lady but also an old woman.
If you saw an old woman, this is her nose as well as a lady’s jaw.



This is an old woman’s thin lips someone saw it as a young lady’s necklace. This is an old woman’s neckerchief as a lady’s overcoat. This is an old woman’s eye as a lady’s ear. This is the fringe of the old woman’s face as well as a lady’s head and neck to take a 45 degree turn. We do not talk about why does anyone make an opposite thinking? Because I have told you, that belongs to psychology and philosophy. I just let you know people face the same thing but sometimes they have expressed different thoughts. I hope you can enjoy my subject and enjoy amazing Illustration illusion. Thank you!

C3-The New Concept and Approach of Oral Hygiene(Chin-chi)

C3 - The New Concept and Approach of Oral Hygiene - by Chin-Chi at Jul. 17,2007

---

Oral hygiene refers to the education about taking care of the mouth. 95% of oral diseases come from inaccurate tooth-brushing behavior and habit. You may think that brushing the teeth well is just a piece of a cake. Just brush them from left to right, top to down, and front to back and do this way few times a day, and we can have beautiful teeth. If this is what you have in mind, you’d better watch out. I hope that after tonight’s speech, you will learn about and appreciate the new concept and new approach of oral hygiene, particularly how to brush the teeth better.

Furthermore, I hope that you would like to start practicing the new approach, right from tonight.

Your teeth may look white, clean, and beautiful in the mirror. But, when you apply disclosing tablet to your teeth, the small red pill will melt in your mouth and reveal the parts you overlook when brushing your teeth. The red areas show the bacteria plagues. The long-time accumulated bacteria plagues will decay the teeth and result in cavities, that are the holes in your teeth. Here is the question: we have been brushing our teeth hard with the way we are taught, why do we still get cavities? Keep in mind that we cannot “see” how well we have brushed our teeth. Keeping our teeth clean requires skills. Brushing the teeth is not only an art but also a habit.

Raising a good tooth-brushing habit is very important. Firstly, instead of using the traditional horizontal way, hold your toothbrush with an angle of 45 degree and place it on the marginal gingiva. This way ensures that we cover most part of our teeth, including the gingiva. Secondly, hold it softly and gently to massage your teeth, like treating an artwork. Do not just brush them hard up-down and from left to right. Brushing too hard will just damage our teeth. So, gently and continuously massage each tooth from left to right, front and back, at least 10-15 seconds a row. Thirdly, don’t forget to use dental floss for interdental spaces. Last but not least, the choice of a toothbrush is important. Since we are going to brush the gingiva, choose an extra-soft or super-soft one and hold it softly and gently so that it won’t hurt our teeth.

Why should we adopt the new approach? It is for our own good. It keeps us healthy and gives us a bright smile. It is also good for others. People will enjoy talking with us when seeing our beautiful smile. It is a way to show our respect to ourselves and others. Therefore, start using the new way to brush your teeth. And, wish you a bright smile, a bright future.
